Brown leather bags

I've been finding for a simple, sturdy brown leather bag since forever. Visited the new Ion in Orchard Road and got lost multiple times. Brands that were within budget just didn't have the bag I was looking for, and everything else was way beyond my budget. Longchamp's Legende bag (pictured above) is a dream - photo above does it little justice. It has a frame at the zipper on top that keeps the bag wide open when pulled apart.

The Sofia Coppola range for LV caught my eye many months back when I spotted it in magazines. Not a fan of monograms, this bag is possibly the only item I would gladly purchase from LV if I find myself a cool SGD6000 richer overnight. Pity (or fortunately) they don't have it in the brown I've been looking for.

Too cute

Stunning!

Too many lovely dresses at Sunday Brunch.

Outfits for Sunday Brunch?

Never thought I would ever be able to sketch anything decent because I've always been quite retarded in drawing. I could never get proportions right, but found out that not everyone can and that templates help oodles!

With the help of ArtWeaver - introduced to me by A - I sketched, scanned then added colour and life to these designs. Now to learn how to drape and actually make these pieces. If only LaSalle would move their classes to friendlier timings for working people. Want to learn more about Fashion Design? I think this course is worth the money, at least for some basic skills.

Ella Luna

I'd never heard of Ella Luna before, but this maxi dress caught my eye on the ASOS website and was floored. I can't seem to find a main website for Ella Luna though, except through ASOS. A little of Pucci in this dress, but not too out there with the designs. Incredibly adorable and versatile for both a Sunday brunch or an eye-catching gown for a dinner party.

Or, ramp it up with either of these two back-flaunting dresses.

China - Forbidden City

A couple of months ago, I travelled to China for work. While the trip was quite frankly emotionally scarring, and of course I say this tongue in cheek, my colleagues and I managed to catch glimpses of the Forbidden City. The colours and structures were all very inspiring.

I'm pretty sure it has been the inspiration for many designers in the past, and will be for more designers to come.

All Shades Of Yellow

I've been a little obsessed with yellow recently - my favourite being mustard yellow. I've been adding touches, or sometimes big splashes of them, in my outfits the past week and I can't seem to get enough!
